Family Magic Tour - experiences ? opinions ?

[disney2001]

We want to do something different our our next WDW magical adventure

Has anyone tried the Family Magic Tour ?

What were the ages of the children on your tour ?

What character did you meet at the end ?
Peter Pan, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland ?

Ever meet a villian ? Captain Hook ?

We have a DS 14 and a DD 11.
Do you think they will be too old for the Family Magic Tour ?

My DS hates being the oldest for activities.
He was one of the oldest for the Pirate Adventure,
but was a good sport keeping his little sister company.

They are not 16 yet - so they can not go on the tour which
takes you below the steets and buildings.
But they will also Horseback ride on our next WDW magical adventure

BUT.... back to my question - Family Magic Tour
What were the ages of the kids on your tour ?
Do they allow strollers on the tour ?
No offense - but I hope not

Thanks for your help

We had Mary Poppins at the end of our tour and got to ride Aladins ride with her.

I can't recall if strollers were left at the begining of the tour or brought along on the tour.

I think your kids may be a little to old, mine were 8 and 9 at the time...and kept saying is this almost over, and when we going over and retracing our steps out load looking at the map and wondering why we did not find Captian Hooks hook...my youngest who was 8 said "MOM...if we have to do this over AGAIN!" Parents were holding back laughter as well as myself.

I know my 2 girls would never do it again. Maybe it just wasn't for us but I have never recommended it to anyone.

My DD was 8 when we did the tour. She was the second oldest child there. The oldest was 11. Her sister was 5 and had a great time but the 11 year old was bored.

We met Peter Pan at the end of our tour. There were just two families in our group so we had a lot of one on one time with him. After the photo ops. We all rode Peter Pan's Flight. My DD rode with Peter Pan. It is still one of her favorite memories.

If you have little ones, I would definitely recommend it but I think your children may be a little too old.
